"Suicide Squad" actor leads Netflix's "Altered Carbon" series

Writer: Erny Suzira

Based on the classic cyberpunk noir novel by Richard K Morgan, the story is set over 300 years in the future.

6 Dec – Netflix has unveiled the highly anticipated first trailer for its upcoming cyberpunk series, "Altered Carbon", starring "Suicide Squad" actor Joel Kinnaman.

Kovacs is revived after his mind was imprisoned, "on ice", for centuries.

The ten-episode series will premiere on Netflix on 2 February 2018, following a lone surviving soldier Takeshi Kovacs (Kinnaman), who is brought back to life in another body centuries after his death to investigate the murder of the wealthiest man on Earth.

The series also stars James Purefoy, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Martha Higareda, and others.

Detective Kristin Ortega (Martha Higareda) escorts Kovacs out of prison after he has been given a new life, a new body, and a new mission.

The novel was followed by two sequels, "Broken Angels" and "Woken Furies", which means that Netflix has an option to expand the series for future seasons too if all goes well.
